While the story of Baahubali has been closely guarded by the makers, rumour has it that there are striking similarities between SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus and Kannada classic
With just few hours to go for the first part of Baahubali to hit the big screens, the buzz around the film is humungous. Be it mind blowing visuals, stunning VFX work, amazing production design, star studded cast or moving music – Baahuabli has truly become the most anticipated entertainer of the year.
With nearly Rs 250 crore spent in the making, SS Rajamouli’s period saga stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah and Anushka Shetty. While fans are eager to know the story of the film, we have some hot goss on the well guarded plot of the film. Rumour has it that Baahubali is inspired from late Kannada superstar Rajkumar’s 1975 Kannada flick Mayura.
The story goes like this:
Prabhas plays Baahubali the king of Maahishmati and Anushka Shetty plays his wife Deva Sena. Rana Daggubati plays Prabhas’ evil brother Bhallaladheva. Bhallaladheva plots an evil plan along with minister played by Nasser and kills Baahubali. Now Bhallaladheva is the king of Mahishmati and he has enslaved Deva Sena. But fortunately Deva Sena and Baahubali’s infant son is fled away from the bloodshed.
After few years, this infant son grows to become an ardent Lord Shiva devotee, Shivudu, living in a small village. Once Rana’s daughter Avanthika played by Tamannaah visits Shivudu’s village, where he falls for her. Pursuing his love, Shivudu reaches Maahishmati where he gets to know his true identity. How he fights with Rana and wins over the kingdom forms the rest of the story.
Now we will have to wait for the reviews to come tonight to know if Baahubali is truly inspired from Mayura or not.
